Burnside has a criminal history according to the New Mexico courts website.

In 2002, he was charged with felony robbery and misdemeanor battery, but the charges were dropped after the victim was killed in a car crash.

In May 2018, he pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance and was given probation.

In November, police allege they saw him trying to enter a stolen vehicle and then bailed when officers approached. He was arrested after a brief foot chase, police said. Burnside was charged with drug trafficking, a second-degree felony, and two misdemeanors — possessing drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest. The next hearing in that case was set for Oct. 3, 2019.

Burnside's death marked the third fatal shooting of the week in Las Cruces. On June 15, Corban Serna shot and killed neighbor Nathan Froseth. Serna is charged with manslaughter and his lawyer describes the shooting as self-defense. On June 17, police shot and killed Francisco Tarin after he shot and wounded a Las Cruces police officer and fired at other law enforcement agents.
